Essentially, the RFID-specific functionalities and the necessary common data are covered. The recommendation concentrates on the automatic identification of parts and assemblies in all their forms in the automotive world. However, many aspects are easily transferable to other areas, such as vehicle distribution or logistic processes.

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is playing an ever more important role in the automotive sector and, for some processes, radio-based identification is already superior to other identification procedures, such as bar-coding, in terms of process efficiency and quality criteria. RFID technology has been applied for many years in the industry, primarily in closed loop systems, which serve exclusively for the development of internal company processes but the full potential of RFID in the management of Containers or, to be more exact, Returnable Transport Items (RTIs) is only realized when the different elements of the supply chain use the same standards and technologies and information is processed at every stage in an open loop system.

Customers using these solutions can now communicate, via the internet, in a completely secure way, throughout the world. GALIA, the Odette National Organisation in France, has taken a look at the implementation of this new protocol with the leader of the OFTP2 deployment project at PSA.

Substantial savings for business can be achieved through carrying out transactions electronically. However, this requires interoperable solutions, and, in the case of electronic invoicing, solutions that meet the needs of public authorities (regarding VAT, for example) across all European member states. With its approved deliverables, the open CEN Workshop ‘Electronic Invoices and Compliance’ represents a significant step in standardization regarding electronic invoicing in Europe.

Various types of error can lead to a situation where a despatch advice cannot be processed by the receivers system. This recommendation describes a standardised, highly automated error handling process which can increase the stability and transparency of the logistic process.

The tool can be used by both supplier and customer throughout the entire product life cycle, including the early product development and pre-production phases, and the post-production aftermarket/service phases. MMOG/LE can be used by every partner in the supply chain for self-assessment, or can be used between business partners as an audit tool for supplier selection and evaluation. This guideline can be used internally as a continuous improvement tool, or externally as your customers require. This Excel file automatically calculates your Global MMOG/LE score and features a gap analysis tool. No publisher StephB ArchiveNews 2010-03-19T09:16:56Z News Item
